Likes: (3 minimum) - Reading ( Neri loves reading and learning new things. She is positive that knowledge brings power, and power is very important.) - Travelling (She is a free spirit who likes to explore.) - Movies. (Evenings curled up in bed watching movies with a hot chocolate, or munching on popcorn is her favorite thing in the world.) - Music (Nerisei has been playing the violin since she was a little girl. It's a way for her to express the feelings she sometimes can't voice, and calm herself, discarding all the negativity.) - Deep conversations (Neri likes to have her brain entertained and she will probably stay away from you if you can't keep up with her. She needs people to spend time talking about important things in life. A smart person to understand and evolve with her.) - Animals ~ Especially cats ( She considers them extremely intelligent and adorable.) - Boys (Like -almost- every girl, she loves a good looking male. It's part of her evolving after all.) - Attention (Sometimes, just sometimes, she is seeking a little too much attention. She likes to be worshiped by the people in her life.) - Potions (It's fascinating to her.) - Flying (She is quite a broom fan, but that ends there. No Quidditch for the lady, thank you.) - Singing (Neri has a quite beautiful voice, but even though she loves singing, she is quite shy to do so in front of people. Only her parents have actually heard her, and she has made them promise not to talk about it.) - Chess - Video Games (You could practically call her a Gamer Girl.)

Dislikes: (3 minimum) - Ignorance (Neri does not put up with being ignored, or ignorance of any level.

So losing is not on her list.) - Pureblood stereotypes (People have moved on from those old ideals, or at least, they should've.) - Social gatherings (Neri isn't you usual social butterfly. She is not isolated per se, but she isn't a fan of a lot of people.) - Being Late ( Neri doesn't like to wake up late, nor being late in anything. She is quite the morning person and always on time when something has been arranged.) - Darkness (Yes, she is still afraid of the dark.)

Nerisei was born a couple of years into her parent's marriage, in Västerås, Sweden. From an early age, the young girl had shown signs of magic. Her parents, unable to believe in the possibility of her being a witch, completely ignored the signs and let her grow up like every other muggle child. Neri was very loved by her whole family who had figured that there was something different about her. Her Grandparents mostly, but her parents kept telling them to ignore it and just treat her as if nothing was going. Despite that, her Grandfather kept buying her books about witches and wizards, and how magic could be found all around. The little girl was intrigued and curious, and at the young age of five, she made a promise to her Grandfather that she would find out whether there were truly wizards out there.

During her first years in Elementary school, the signs were getting stronger, and people were starting to notice that something was completely off. Her parents, being quite famous both, couldn't have rumors spreading, and instead, they decided she should be homeschooled. At the age of eleven, though, they couldn't deny the signs they were trying to ignore for so long. Her letter arrived, informing her that she had been accepted to attend to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Her parents were dumbfounded but her Grandfather had a knowing glint in his eye.

Finding Diagon Alley was a funny event but they managed. Shopping was quite fast, and after she had made sure she had everything she needed, they had left. The funniest part was her father's face, when he figured out that in order to get her to the Platform of 9 and 3/4, they had to practically run into the wall.

Eventually, she reached the Castle, and she could swear that she had died and gone to a magical place. The Castle was huge and everything was simply.. perfect. She felt at home. Of course, she was very shy, not knowing anyone, plus, there was simply too many people for her to handle in one night. The Sorting was the most stressful thing she had to undergo so far in her life. But in the end, everything went smoothly, and it was the beginning of a new -magical- life.

Janna was born in Sweden, daughter to a politician and his wife. She was their 'miracle' baby, since the couple had lost three children before her. She grew up in a loving environment, and despite having a lot of money, she was never spoiled to the point of being stuck up and needy. Both her parents had made sure to teach her the proper way, the humble, you could say. She attended a private school where she met her husband, who was two years above her. Søren was the son of a famous Doctor. They became friends right away and started spending more and more time together. Neither had ever considered that eventually they would end up falling in love.But when they finished high school and Søren had to leave to study in another Country, Janna was heartbroken. That was when they both understood that it wasn't just friendship binding them. There was unconditional love that neither of them had ever considered, because it all came so naturally. After they expressed their love to each other, Janna decided to follow him to Scotland, where he was going to study to become a Neurosurgeon.

She decided to do what she knew best and that was to paint. Eventually, an exhibitionist saw her art, and her legacy started. She was named one of the best artists of her era. Søren successfully became a Neurosurgeon, and then he decided that it was about time he made her his wife. They traveled back home, and during the Welcome Back dinner, he proposed. They were married shortly after.

All things come to an end at some point. Nerisei knew that very well, but she still found it extremely difficult to cope with whatever has been going on for the past year. It's funny how everything seems fine and the next day, every single thing you thought you knew changes. For a young girl, some thing are simply too much to handle, and the result of such event usually leads to an isolation. An attempt of the person to stay sane, to survive through everything that follows.

And Nerisei was not an exception. Ending up distant and closed off, the young Ravenclaw found it impossible to keep it together. She wasn't the type of her to have a lot of friends, so when she had managed to find Maximillian, it felt like a blessing. He was a sweet boy that shared her love for animals. The spent most days together in the Forbidden Forest, their cats laying around while they explored all the different species that were there. And of course, she still remembered Primrose. His girlfriend. She loved Max so much. And to be honest, they were her only true friends. The ones that didn't judge her.

So how do you cope with the fact that they are both dead?

Their deaths were announced during the end of last year, and Nerisei felt the pain in her heart spread with each word she was hearing. Their bodies were found in the Forbidden Forest. Cause of death: Spiders. She had exited the Great Hall in seconds, running towards the Girls' Bathroom, before emptying out everything her stomach was holding. Her face was red, tears running down. Her sobs were loud. She just couldn't keep it it. And the worst part was that, she had told them that she would be coming along, but she never did. But what would happen if she were there? Would she be able to save them, or would she be dead as well?

During the Summer, Nerisei became more and more distant. She barely talked, she ate only what was necessary to survive and remained in her room. No matter what her parents did, it was impossible for her to feel. A big part of her had died with them, and to be honest, she couldn't believe there was a chance for her to get it back ever again. Music was the only ray of sunshine she allowed in her life. Practicing her violin and reading books was the only thing that kept her from having a mental breakdown. One wrong phrase and she would explode.

The nights were terrifying. During the first couple of weeks, she didn't sleep at all. Black bags had formed underneath her eyes, and her brain was barely functioning. And when she finally managed to fall asleep, the nightmares were ever present, making her scream and cry. Did she even want to return to Hogwarts after what happened? But could she really give up on her studies? No, she couldn't. The pain was immense but she had to come back. She was simply coming back a different Nerisei.

At the start of the Year, they made sure to remind the students of her friends' death, but Nerisei didn't react this time. The darkness had rooted deeply, making it impossible to feel anything anymore. It was the only way to push away the pain. By shutting down every feeling. Then, as if that wasn't enough, in October, there was another announcement that shook her to the core. The death of the Minister of Magic. That made Nerisei understand that things were going to be extremely hard for now on. And the only way to survive was to keep everything hidden. No one had to know about her or her life or her thoughts or her feelings. Because all of them could be used against her.

But after everything that happened, she was more than prepared to be the predator and not the prey.
